ETRN is typically used by mail servers such as Microsoft Exchange, which handle mail for a company or organisation who connect to the internet using a dial up PSTN or ISDN connection. This connection must have a fixed IP address. Hosting UK can supply a fixed IP dial up connection if required.
General instructions
The mail server for ETRN requests is : relay.hostinguk.net
Your mail server should send the following command: ETRN domain where domain is your domain name, for example:
ETRN hostinguk.net
would de-queue all mail for the domain name hostinguk.net and attempt delivery to the server listed for that domain.
Works in a similar manner to the ETRN method described above except the collecting server can have a dynamically (not fixed) IP address and must specify a username and password.
